Article Abstract
Neural recording technologies now enable simultaneous recording of population activity across many brain regions, motivating the development of data-driven models of communication between brain regions. However, existing models can struggle to disentangle the sources that influence recorded neural populations, leading to inaccurate portraits of inter-regional communication. Here, we introduce Multi-Region Latent Factor Analysis via Dynamical Systems (MR-LFADS), a sequential variational autoencoder designed to disentangle inter-regional communication, inputs from unobserved regions, and local neural population dynamics. We show that MR-LFADS outperforms existing approaches at identifying communication across dozens of simulations of task-trained multi-region networks. When applied to large-scale electrophysiology, MR-LFADS predicts brain-wide effects of circuit perturbations that were held out during model fitting. These validations on synthetic and real neural data position MR-LFADS as a promising tool for discovering principles of brain-wide information processing.

Neurons that encode odor information are fundamental to innate fear processes, yet how mitral/tufted (M/T) cells encode innate fear remains unknown. Here, we identify three different response patterns of M/T cells in the dorsal olfactory bulb (dOB) during active avoidance elicited by non-dehydrogenated 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole (nTMT) through in vivo calcium imaging and multielectrode recordings in mice, including enhanced responses, suppressed responses, and no response. Remarkably, suppressed response M/T cells encode active avoidance, whereas suppressed and enhanced response M/T cells jointly encode passive freezing.

Background: GBA1 variants are the major genetic risk factor for Parkinson's Disease (PD) and account for 5-30% of PD cases depending on the population and age at onset of the disease.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) could predict GBA1-mutated genotype in PD (GBA1-PD). Particularly, the main objective was to identify a Machine Learning (ML) model capable of accurately providing a pre-test estimate of GBA1-mutated status, relying on the clinical and demographic variables with the highest predictive value.

Introduction: There is an ongoing debate about the neural mechanisms and subjective preferences involved in the processing of social rewards compared to non-social reward types.
Methods: Using whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined brain activation patterns during the anticipation and consumption phases of monetary and social rewards (using the Monetary and Social Incentive Delay Task-MSIDT, featuring human avatars) and their associations with self-reported social reward preferences measured by the Social Reward Questionnaire (SRQ) in 20 healthy right-handed individuals.
Results: In the anticipation phase, all reward types activated the dorsal striatum, middle cingulo-insular (salience) network, inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and supplementary motor areas.
